The time has come - this gloriously sunny week has seen a flurry of activity in my garden, as my perennial vegetables are being planted out into their final growing positions.

Wildlife spotted so far this year include: hedgehogs, birds, butterflies, mice, slugs (!) and a bat. We also have the addition of a beehive this year, and the colony is industriously working to raise the new brood whenever the weather permits.

One issue I am currently encountering is the 'angry bee' - a bee which will not let me work on my new vegetable bed for more than five seconds, without harassing me until I retreat indoors. It's only ever one bee. I like to think it's the same one, as all the other bees in the garden are very docile. I am not sure how to get round this issue - I have gardening to do!
